Adjustment - CL-810

AutoScope

If you are installing a CineWide-equipped projector, proceed as follows to install and adjust the anamorphic lens.

It is extremely important that the primary lens is properly

Note adjusted before you install the anamorphic lens. Ensure that the image from the primary lens is perfectly centered on the screen.

The standard CL-810/CineWide uses a prismatic-style anamorphic lens. This type of lens compresses the height of the image (as opposed to stretching the width) to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display device.

The CL-810 Ultra/CineWide and CL-810 Ultra/CineWide with AutoScope use a cylindrical anamorphic lens with a much larger aperture than the prismatic lens used with the standard CL-810/CineWide.

If you are installing a standard CL-810/CineWide or CL-810 Ultra/CineWide, refer to

Anamorphic Lens Installation and Adjustment - Standard CL-810/CineWide or CL-810 Ultra/CineWide on page 39. If you are installing an CL-810 Ultra/CineWide with AutoScope, continue with the next section.
